Fasting: deadly or what?

people anything work. I am going to uh make an appointment with a specialist for the gird good and get scoped. I think they call it when they drop a camera down in there and they find out that I have a small dragon living in my stomach and then the scope drops a film canister into your stomach. Asked him to be retrieved later and developed. Yeah, so thank you for that support people. I'm definitely gonna go get that checked out. He's going to the specialists, going to a specialist. Um,

I'm not gonna quit drinking red wine? Is that the problem? Well? No, I mean I get heartburned from anything, which is so that means I've definitely got a real issue. But obviously things like red wine and chocolate and Margarita's and citrus, all the best stuff, all the best stuff. Margarite is you could go either way. I like him. During the right time of year, you need to just drink like white Russians all the time. It has a lot of milk in it. Chocolate though that's a black Russian. Oh right,

white Russian. Or just drink of vodka mm hmm, yeah, just drink milk, okay and pretend you're wasted and be healthy. Chuck. Yes, have you ever fasted? Uh no, I've done the little Master cleans thing, but which is sort of a fast. I guess so that the lemon juice one. Yeah, okay, we've talked about this before. I've done that as well, and this is kind of like gives you shingles. Yeah, I'm not gonna do it again. You're not. So I fast like all the time. I know that, um all

the time? Maybe hyperbole because I actually do eat. Sometimes you just say to the pizza the sixth of Us, um what I I? And so I have a pretty good understanding of what fasting can do and what it feels like. But what I did not know is that it comes from an old Anglo Saxon word fastin. Oh yeah, yeah, that's the the fact of the podcast for me. Well, that's that's remarkable, facing fast and fasten fasting. There's an f A E S T E N fasting. Yeah, so

people have been doing it for a while. Then that's what you're saying. Well, yeah, apparently, um, fast and means to hold oneself from food, and yeah, people have been doing it for a while because it's a firmly rooted in a lot of religious traditions that have been around for many, many years. Um. And then there's other reasons that people fast, more modern ones see medical fasting. Yeah, which we'll talk about, political statement fasting, Yeah, hunger strikes. Yeah,

there's a lot of that. In the twentieth century it was big for hunger strikes. Of course still is. But let's let's talk about fasting, shall we. Okay, Um, let's talk about specifically religious fasting. Chuck, great place to start. Um, it's been going on for thousands of years in religion. So you answered your own question. Yeah, I knew eventually that's been coy uh. A lot of times they initiate a fast to um. Someone will do that too, maintain

contact with the divinity. And some say that if you fast for long enough, you will hallucinate, and that that might be uh. They might interpret that as communicating directly with God. Right. And I looked that up. I couldn't find out exactly why you hallucinate when you fast. I mean, that is corroborated all over the place. The best I can find, you're dying. Well, the best I can find is that it's a it's a vitamin deficiency leads to hallucinations for some reason, but I don't I don't know why.

But no, not necessarily. Also came across some articles that suggested that hallucinations are a lot more natural than we would think because we associate them with mental illness or drug use. UM in the West way of a lot of negative connotations for hallucinations UM that aren't necessarily spiritual, right, when in fact other cultures might believe it's a form of enlightenment. Right. So hallucinations may not be bad. It may not be that you're dying, and it may not

be that you're mentally ill. It may just be that you're hungry. Yeah, all right, that's a good point. Um. A lot of times religious fast are are undertaken because you're toning for since is punishment, you're asking God for your forgiveness for your misdeeds. Yeah, these are the big two basically, like you fast religiously either to get closer to God or to tell God you're sorry and thus get closer to God. Yeah, yeah, I know what you

mean though. Thanks. So let's you know, you want to talk about some of the religions and and why and when they fast. Yeah, Buddhists. Buddhists fast on full moon days, holidays, um, and they do it mainly for purification and to um free the mind. Apparently you know your butt will follow if you free the mind. That's an old Buddhist adage. I had not heard that, I think so. Um, they're fasting is mostly it's not a full fast. You can drink, so I guess you could have soup, maybe just a broth.

God help you if you have noodles in it, but you have to abstain from solid foods, right, Um, you can live on broth yeah forever. Yeah, he probably wouldn't have a very productive life. G Hi system, But yeah, you can live on broth. Catholics they fashion on fast on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday. Um. Actually they can eat a small meal without meat on those two days. Yeah, so it's not exactly a fast. But they on Fridays during Lent, they're not really supposed to eat meat at all.

That's why we have the filet of fish and for a little while in the sixties of the Hula burger, right because Crock was like, man, there's a mess of Catholics out there and they're not eating burgers on Fridays, but we need to get them in the store anyway. See, I'm thankful for that because I love a filet of fish every now and then, like once a year. Uh. They fast to Catholics fast to show their control of their flesh, fleshly which one of my favorite words, fleshly desires.

So Catholic to do penance, to show solidarity with the poor and people who might not have food. So I went to a Atholic school for the first couple of years of school, our Lady of Perpetual Help and um, every once in a while they would serve rice with a pad of butter for lunch, and it was kind of this fast, but it wasn't really fast because we're

still having rice. But basically the whole idea was, this is what poor kids in Bangladesh have to eat every day, and you're just this spoiled kid, So eat some rice instead and kind of get in the mindset. And I never did it because I got the point. But some of my friends would eat the rice and then eat their own lunch from home as well, which even even in like second grade, I'm like, that seems wrong. Yeah, I don't think you're supposed to be doing it like that.

Yeah they I mean that didn't even have to be a religious space. You could do that in school today and just say as a hunger awareness like in Australia. Yeah, Australia, what what is that? The forty hour Fast? Do you know anything about that? I know that I think they have it once a year and many many Australians take part, and basically the whole thing is to like they raise awareness of poverty, of the state of the poverty stricken and um also to raise money to the forty Hour Famine.

Excuse me, which is a fast? Boy? We headed that one off the past. Good going, chuck, uh Eastern Orthodox Church members they will fast on Lent. They observe the Apostles fast and the Nativity fast, and they think, um, that it could strengthen your that your resistance to gluttony is obviously one of the seven deadly sins. And they eat no meat, dairy, eggs, or fish during these fasts. So it's my understanding. They can also eat a little something,

just not those things the carbs. They can eat bread, that'd be nice, and bread and broth. But now you're talking, yeah, that's what else you need. I can't think of it. Fruits and vegetables and stuff like that. Well, no, it says no meat, dairy, eggs, or fish. So you could have fruits, vegetables, broth, bread. That's like, that's a good kind in a fast right there. I wouldn't even call that a fast. No, you couldn't actually get gluttonous on that.

You could. Uh. The Jewish folks they fast on Yam Kapoor, which is the day of Atonement, and they are doing this to a tone first sins obviously like the Catholics, and special requests from God. I know, it's so funny. It's like, hey, I'm not gonna eat for twenty five whole hours. But I have a huge favor to ask you right sun up. The sundown is that the deal which and they have one of the tougher fast because they don't eat or drink anything for twenty five hours.

That's like no nothing, that's a real fast. Mormons stay fast on the first Sunday every month. This is kind of a week fast. If you ask me, this is like a Tuesday for me. They have to skip two meals. They skipped two meals and they think it helps them obviously get closer to God like many of the religions do,

and just basically just focuses their minds on God. Well, the cool thing about the More and Fast, in my opinion, is that they're also required to give food and money to the needy, right what they would have spent perhaps on those meals. It's probably a good one. You should do one on Mormons as a whole. We've had that requested a lot. I've read about this one guy UM named Paul Kingston, and he is the head of a an accused alleged crime family that's a Mormon sect also UM.

And he does forty day fasts. Yeah, wow, forty days man, can you imagine it's good? Did it? He does it? I bet his breast stink so bad. Um, we'll get into that. Muslims uh that obviously they fast on for the observance of Ramadan, the ninth month on the Muslim calendar. And many of you might not know what Ramadan is. Do you want to tell him? I'll tell him. It commemorates the month when the Koran was first revealed to Mohammed.

That's what Ramadan is all about, is right. So they don't have food, they don't have drink, they don't smoke, they don't curse, they don't have sex from sunrise the sunset. Yeah, for a month, every day for a month, that's right. And millions millions of people do this during Ramadan. Which is when is it? Like? Does it take place roughly in November on the Grigorian calendar? I think is it? I think it is. And we've been asked to do one on Ramadan too, So we're gonna we got a lot.

We haven't explained hardly anything, have we we still? Uh. Ramadan is a very famous fast obviously because um of the length of time, and it is supposed to teach Muslims patients and modesty spirituality. You ask Allah for forgiveness, pray for guidance, and you purify yourself and then it's really effective, man, like getting this, uh, this mindset of I want this, so I'll have it right now, um out of your head for a little while. Even a day really kind of opens your eyes a little bit

beyond that one single day denial, aren't you? It never it never leaves you, does it? Well? I have to say that, like, um, the further I've gotten away from Catholicism, the more into self denial I've gotten. Ironically. Yeah, alright, well let's talk about medical fasting. That's an overview of religious fasting. You can get a lot more detailed but nice transition than you. Well, medical fasting, Um, a lot

of people have probably engaged in. If you've ever had some sort of test done, A lot of times they're like, don't eat the night before your your appointment, um, sometimes twenty four hours if it's like certain kinds of blood tests. Yeah. The reason for this is pretty straightforward and logical. With blood tests in particular, Um, they want your body to have metabolized all the food, so they have a pretty good idea of what your baseline levels of things like cholesterol, blood, sugar, um,

all of these things are in your system normally. If you, you know, ate a handful of chicken fat right before you went in for your cholesterol test, it's gonna skew the results a little bit. Yeah, that fat's gonna be in your blood. But if you haven't eaten in twenty four hours and your blood shows uh, the same levels of lipids that as if you had just eating a handful of chicken fat, your physician is going to be like,

we have to save your life right now. Well, yeah, if your baseline indicates something that scary, then no more chicken fat um. And the same goes with if you were going to go under for surgery, yeah, which apparently this one's becoming outdated. We both had surgery recently. You went all the way under it into I went into

twilight sleep for my tooth. I went all the way under, and I don't know what my oral surgeon used, but she brought me out like totally was wide awake within an hour of being put under, Like she did the procedure and then I was wide awake. I still need to ask her you weren't like I was just right back. I love the Twilight. Actually yeah, it was pretty rocking. Um. I mean I still wasted, but it was like like I was awake. It wasn't like huge time loss or

anything like that. Anyway, I wasn't supposed to eat. I thought, just eat, but it's eat or drink And they had to delay my surgery like three hours because I was a jass and drank some coffee. Um. And the whole reason I didn't understand why until I read this article. But the whole reason they tell you not to um eat or drink anything for you know, the night before you're put under, because they're worried you're going to puke and choke on your vomit like John Bottom. I didn't

know that. I thought it was just it could make you nauseous. Until I read this, I didn't realize that was a deal. No, But they may be phasing it out because it can make you nauseous if you don't eat, if you have if you take all those drugs on an empty stomach, um, you may be likelier to be nauseated.

And it's also really rare that they found, so I think it's not uh, I mean they still did it with me, but the article says that it may be phased out because it's such a rare thing to choke like that, right, And they're saying, well, a lot more people, um are having trouble with dizziness feigning because they haven't eaten anything, and we just pumped them full of drugs. So we're gonna go ahead and let people eat. And in the UM, I want to take a minute to

explain the difference between nauseous and nauseated. You know this, Yeah, So nauseous means that, um, you're causing nausea, right, so I'm making you nauseous. I'm nauseous to you, Okay. Nauseated means that you're feeling or suffering from nausea. So I'm

making you nauseated. I'm nauseous to you. Know, I'm nauseated, is what you would say, unless you are aware that you're making other people no nauseous And that's with behaviorally speaking, what do you mean, well, like you're nauseated with someone's actions or does that mean literally you're nauseated with somebody's actions that would make the other person nauseous. They have the ability to cause nausea and other people got you. I never knew that. It's a big, big deal. The

more you know, thank you worldwide words. By the way, is that where that came from? Yeah, that's a great thing. I haven't seen it. Uh So what happens when you stop eating? Your body is going to start burning. You know, if you don't have any protein, your body's gonna break down your muscle. It's gonna start eating that because that's protein. Yeah, it's a scary notion, it is, which is why if you're on a low calorie diet you want to eat

lean protein. And it's also why you'll feel weak if you're on like a hunger strike, like to the point where you can't get out of bed, if it's you haven't eaten for three weeks or you're hallucinating um. A long term fast can damage your heart because your heart is a muscle, and what what your body is doing is going after your muscle because your muscle is made of amino acids, which is the building blocks of protein.

So it's saying, well, basically, we have a bunch of store of amino acids here where your brain is Like no, no, I used that to lift things where I used that to pump blood. Your body's like, no, it's a bunch of amino acids and I need it right now. If you feed your body lean protein, logically speaking, um, it will go after other things e g. Fat because it

has protein. Right. So aside from the heart though, liver and kidneys can also decrease in size if you don't have enough protein and damage those as well, which is not good. It is not good. Um that at least it is pretty clearly too fasting for weight loss. Right, Yes, there's a weird catch twenty two for fasting for weight loss where your body, uh, if given few enough calories or if on a fast, enters what's called starvation mode.

And when you enter starvation mode, it goes. It does things like going after your muscles, which is bad, but it also lowers your metabolism to preserve calories. So the fewer calories you take in, the fewer calories you end up burning. It's weird. It's not weird. It actually makes perfect sense, but it's also extremely unhealthy. It is, and there's uh. I've dug into web m D for this UM and they say that there's a lot of controversy on this people say, you know, some people say it's

can be effective. Other people say it can't. But they say, if you really weed through all this stuff that most medical experts say that it is not healthy at all. Um, it'll come back quickly if you fast to lose weight, it's really just liquids. Beyonce made a lot of headlines when she did the Master Cleanse and lost twenty pounds for Dream Roles. Awesome movie. Did you see that? No, I don't know if you'd like, it might not be

your thing. Okay, health risks that we already covered, um, liver, kidney, and heart. And this doctor says, you know, people try all these weird diets and there's a hundred thousand different books on odd diets. When everyone knows the way to lose weight is lower your fat, eat five fruits and vegetables a day, drink a lot of water, and do some exercise and get plenty of sleep. Uh. If they say I want to fast, let's say you want to fast and do a good enema just to clean yourself out,

Very very dangerous to do that. What not to do an enemo while you're on a fast. It's not a good one too. Punch web MD says, what you're gonna do is you're gonna flush your intestinal attract of your good bacteria and put your health it too sarious risk um. And this is the whole detoxification thing. There's one camp that says, you know, your body detoxes itself, there's no scientific evidence that any of these cleanses do any good.

Then there's another camp that says, well, if you're eating healthy, then your body is doing a great job of detoxifying itself. But most people don't eat healthy, they eat packaged, processed foods, and so your body could actually use some help detoxifying. I mean that makes a lot of sense of the same thing with saunas, like they're like, well, yeah, I mean you might only sweat like a very small amount of toxins out of your body, but you're still sweating

that amount out. Why why how could that hurt if you're doing it properly. There's definitely two camps on this. It is very controversial. Yeah, same with a calorie restricted diet, which I know we've talked about before. There's two camps on it. The fact of the matter is it's neither one knows for certain whether they're right. That's a lot of it's just based on the common sense and logic ketosis. If you go without eating for a couple of days, your body is gonna enter a stage called ketosis, and

that is, um, what your goal is. If you do the Atkins diet, they preach ketosis and that's what happens when your body runs out of carbs to burn for energy, so it burns fat, which sounds like a good thing. Um, but the breath I mentioned earlier, be prepared for really awful halitosis. Is that right? Tell me about it, Chuck. Well, it's that's just one of the side effects of of fasting and ketosis is you're you're gonna have rank halitosis. I don't know the science behind it, but it's true.

And uh so, you know, carry around if you're gonna be doing that kind of thing. Just take care of your mouth a little more. Get a tongue scraper. Um. I think probably while we're on this, we should take the time to debunk the whole idea that you should be drinking eight glasses of water a day. Debunk. Well, you should definitely drink water. It's not it's good. It's good to drink water, but that whole eight glasses of date.

Think there's people who rigidly drink eight glasses of water a day, totally arbitrary, and um, yeah, there's a guy named Tim Crow who's a professor nutrition at Deacon University who's kind of gone to the trouble of debunking this. Apparently back in the US, um recommended, uh two point five liters of water a day, I would imagine. So, um, so this this, this whole uh this, this is where

this whole eight glasses came from. Right, um, but there there's also been this whole Um it has to just be water idea, Like it can't be coffee, it can't be so that one guy said liquids, water and other liquids right, at least on web m D. Technically you could get it all from cokes, which is you know, it's gonna have all these other side effects. But there it's water, you know, one of the main ingredients, and coke is water. Same with coffee, same with tea, all

this other stuff. So, um, if you're drinking water, drink water. But that whole eight classes a day thing is apparently not true, says that one guy. There's Well, the problem is water intake varies by body size weight. It's two individuals, say eight classes a day. Yeah, but let's put it this way. It's never gonna be bad for you, is it. Yeah, there's um you can die of water toxicity. Well not

from eight glass water, No, but people have that. That lady did that contest drink like twelve gallons of water or something like that. I know, isn't that crazy. That wasn't that much, but there was a lot. And then I'm sorry. There's one other there's one other problem that can develop from not eating from fasting. When you lose minerals, not only can you hallucinate, but specifically, if you have h not enough potassium, copper, and magnesium, you can lose

electricity or electrical function in your heart. That's not good. Well, it's also gonna put a big hit on your immune system. If you're fasting, you're gonna have a real hard time finding off sickness or and if you get sick, you're gonna have a real hard time getting better. Yes, because you're not getting the stuff you need, the good stuff. I agreed, the nutrients. So what what's the next checker? Hunger strikes that's really the last reason that we have

for fasting. And throughout history a lot of people have made political statements by going on very public hunger strikes to raise awareness, and it's you know, it's a good way to get attention if you're a Gandhi, Let's say, And Gandhi did do that, I think in because the Crown was saying, hey, let's get this new Indian constitution underway and let's codify the cast system that keeps people

in these this horrible socioeconomic hierarchy. And Gandhi said, you know what, you do that and I'm can eat and the whole world will pay attention. And the Brits were like, oh, shut up, and Gandhi was like, no, I'm gonna do it, and they're like, oh, no, you're not. And he did it and everybody paid attention. And he said, one day, Sir Richard Edinburgh will make a movie about me. Isn't that who made Gandhi? I think so? Huh? And Ben Kingsley will play me because he looks that's good stuff, Chuck.

That was a great back and forth, wasn't Bobby Sands Uh the infamous Irish hunger strike in Uh in Ireland and and sorry, in in May's prison in Northern Ireland. He fasted for sixty six days and I'm pretty sure he had some of his uh ira A cohorts taking part in it with him. Yeah, I think nine other guys died. I wasn't including him, Okay, sixty six days. Yeah. So they had demands, various demands like, hey, we want to wear our own clothes. We want to be able

to socialize and correspond with the outside world. Sure mails, mailsome letters here and there. We shouldn't have to do penal work as part of our senates here and uh, nine prisoners died, like you said, and sixty others died, and the violence that followed. I think there were some riots that happened afterwards, and it was a really big deal. I think I wrote about that in my how Long can You Go Without Food and Water? Article many months ago.

That's where we talked about the Calori restricted diet, isn't it. I think? So we'll have to tweet that that episode. It's a good one, agreed, man that that seems like a gazillion years ago. And then I don't even remember what was in it. I don't either, Uh, and then we mentioned the forty hour famine, which is an annual event in Australia, and basically people say, I'm not gonna drink food or water for forty hours and I'm going

to raise awareness. Like that's a really good way to raise awareness, to just say I'm not eating and you can't make me. And then people will try. Authorities will be like, no, we have to keep you alive because we want to keep you in prison. Logic all over the place. You got anything more about fasting? No, you know, be careful if you're out there. It's Uh. Anarexy is a real problem in the world and it can get

out of hand. And there was a sidebar in this article we didn't cover, but um, we'd be remiss without mentioning that anorexia nervosa. That's right, not good, No, neither. I saw a thing recently where UM a plus size model.

Did you see this? This female plus size model had her picture taken with UM, a regular model and they were like both nude and just hugging and it looked like she was hugging a a small child and I think they had and she was doing this to raise awareness that like this image that they put out with models is just a unattainable and be unsafe. And I think that I can't remember the year, but it was something like twenty years ago the average model was like

eight percent smaller and thinner than your average person. And nowadays it's like well, not only that they alter them digitally through like photoshop or some other photo editing. Sweet, yeah, just do crazy things for me. They don't even look right if you see what they do to them in photoshop afterwards, it's crazy. It's a great article. I wish

I could remember where it was. It was going around Facebook, though, but I think it is a very good message to send out that chuck from stuff you should know thinks that that plus size model was uber hot and sexy. Look good for you? Look good, man, That's how a woman should look. It's very nice of you, not like that little frail waife waif of a of a lady.

And if you're like that, naturally I'm not you know, I don't want to make you feel bad about yourself, but if you're starving thisself with to make you look like that, then some guys like a little junk in the trunk, as they say. I think that's an excellent one to end the fun way too good, Chuck. So you have nothing more now about fasting? No, nothing more any other discourse. Jerry's just the last. He's like, boy,

these guys are spiraling. Um. Well, if you want to know more about fasting, you can type that word into the search bar at how stuff works dot com and chucks a junk in the trunk. So that brings up listener mail. So listener mail. As I just said, right, I'm shaking my head down. I knew that you're going to say that. South By Southwest announcement continues. Is this the generic one or the specific one? This is the generic version. This is the the um where does this

is filled with the seat and trickery? Yes, we are having a party on Monday, March twelve in Austin, Texas. Yeah, no badge required, let's not forget. Also, dude, we're doing an official live podcast on the day before March eleven pm. Okay, well, I'm glad you remember that. What's going on March twelve, March twelfth is a party we're having and uh at a place to be announced later downtown Austin, and there will be performers comedians, bands and some other special treats

and it will be in the evening hours. Yeah, it'll be a cool party, early evening hours. Can we call it a party, it's a it's a party. Okay, it will be a party. And if you don't have to have a badge for this, you do have to have a badge for the live podcast on Sunday, and you probably have to be twenty one when don't you think do you know, I think it's a restaurant. Well, yeah, I think you can come in there and awesome. Or if you're twenty one, you can come in there and

drink your face off. Yeah, bring your pocketbook. We're not buying drinks. You can buy us drinks. Yeah, here you go. Can we get to it now? Yes? Okay. Appropriately This is from an Aussie fan that um has uh to wants to raise awareness for weight loss. Weird funny how that works. Greetings from down Under. I just wanted to plug a little something for the Ausi corner of the s y s K nation and we have a lot

of Australian fans. One of our major AUSI broadcasters has started a new initiative called the one million kilow challenge and the goal is to get Australians to collectively pledged to lose one million kilos. It's about two point to million pounds. Where you backwards folk as she calls us, uh. Their site is www dot one and it's the number one million kilow challenge dot com dot a you that means Australia and it gives you all the diet and exercise plans you need to shed that lab in ten

weeks starting on January. Maybe I should do this. You can complete the challenge as an individual or as a team. So I thought, why not rally the s y s K army. I think it would be a great way for AUSI listeners. I'm sorry keep saying Ausy. It's really Ausy. As they say AUSI lis sners to interact, get healthier and dominate all the other teams. So I created a team, conveniently named them Team s Y s K. International folk always complain when we can't enter your contests, so how

about we make this the official Ausy thing. Of course, you guys can still sign up if you're willing to fake an Aussie address and get your key loose two pounds convert at the ready I have pledged to lose five point three ms. That's eleven point seven pounds that I put on last year, and I'm really pumped up about it. Um. I don't know how to get this out to the s y s K nation, but I would love it if we could encourage any other AUSI or otherwise listeners to sign up and fight the flat together.

And this is how you do it live the email us and we read it the next day. So here we are jesus ps I noticed the Colbar nation doesn't even have a team, so we've already won up them again. Nice um, and that's in thirty days. January is when it it's off, and that is number one million kilow challenge dot com dot Au and throw a www in front of that and you'll be taking straight there. And is there a team page? Uh? She said she started team s y s K, so I guess it might

be like Kiva word. You might can enter that in a in a team section or something to find out. Okay, I'm gonna look after this. Actually all right, well we'll publicize it if you can. That is Live. Thanks a lot, Live. We appreciate you go into that trouble and thanks to everybody listening. If you have a cool story, uh that you want to tell us about, it doesn't matter if it has to do with fasting or anything else we want to hear it. Just whatever, general assignment, how about that?
